Unsure, I just peaked at some old threads to see if there were any patterns, but there didn't really seem to be any. I think it's possible the first round of acceptances go out this week, but I think it's more likely to be next week. Seems like everyone on this thread so far has similar stats and similar status timelines, which is interesting.

I'm a little confused. My status checker just says "Application being processed." Does that mean nobody's reviewed yet? Not sure where everyone is seeing the dates for UR1 and UR2

When it first goes under review, the “Current Status” changes to “Application under review.” The “Current Status Date,” right underneath, will change— this is the date of UR1. When that date updates, that indicates UR2, and so on (but I think current status will still just say “application under review”).

Mine says "application being processed" but the date changed to today, June 17

[KPUSN07]

Under review today - 6/18

[Charlemagne227]

UR3 today

[letsee456]

UR3 today

Must be a good sign? Still UR2 here. Hopefully this means decisions are coming this week.

[romanlaw]

UR3 today

Still UR2 as well....hopefully we hear something this week. Not entirely sure on the UR1-4 thing. I tried to decipher it based on last year's boards, but I couldn't.

Very anxious. Fingers crossed for decisions this week! Good luck!

Can someone please explain to me what this whole UR thing means and why it matters?

[popcorn123]

Still on UR1 (6/15). Anyone else?

lower T-14, top 15%.

From what I understand, when your status is "Under Review", each time your date updates, it's a new "UR". In the past, most admits went through 2 or 3 date changes. It seems like the date changes every time the admissions committee looks at your file. Past threads have said that UR3 = fringe candidates (on the fence). However, this was just people guessing, and the date changes might mean absolutely nothing (or something else).

It doesn't really mean anything. We're all just anxious applicants watching the seconds hand on a clock tick by. Any sign the clock is still moving is welcome. It just shows they were back on your profile again. UR is "Under Review" the # associated with it is just how many different dates the UR status date has been changed.

I'm trying to pm you but TLS won't let me cause my account is too new. Maybe you can start a pm and I can reply? Sorry for the inconvenience.

I just saw your PM and it's not letting me reply. I'm trying to post more comments in discussion boards so that I can access the feature. I will reply as soon as TLS lets me!

What is UR3?

[romanlaw]

What is UR3?

UR3 just means that your application went under review a third time, which you can tell by a date change. From what I have read, no one actually knows for sure what the UR1-4 mean. Some folks think it may be that once you hit UR3/4 you are a close call being compared against applicants with similar stats, especially applicants from your current school. No idea, though!

Also, someone PM'd me, but I can't respond for some reason. I'm still on UR2 6/15...hoping for some decisions by Friday.
